The Discovery Workshop

What it is

This workshop uses self-assessment tools, group activities, and varied strategies for synthesis to help participants come away with a new sense of their uniqueness and value as a human being.

What you get

All attendees receive copies of LifeKeys and the LifeKeys Discovery Workbook, morning and afternoon breaks, and lunch. You will also:

  • Discover your own LifeKeys: talents, spiritual gifts, personality type, values and passions
  • Understand who you are meant to be versus the roles you’ve learned to play
  • Learn to align your particular gifts, interests, and passions with careers or causes that are more meaningful for you

Who it’s for

If you’re wondering how to add meaning and purpose to life, looking for the right volunteer opportunities, rethinking your career, or simply ready for deeper self-discovery, LifeKeys is for you.

The LifeKeys process can also be adapted for teams to develop an awareness of the contributions of each member as well as their common mission.

The Type and Spirituality Workshop

What it is

An opportunity to learn about the various ways people with diverse personality types approach the spiritual side of life. You will:

  • Experience different forms of prayer, study, meditation and worship to understand what appeals to you and others
  • Develop a framework for understanding patterns, based on type, of what attracts people to the spiritual journey and what pushes them away
  • Gain fresh insights into your own spiritual journey
  • Understand how different spiritual practices can offer rest and renewal for the the rest of life

Who it’s for

Perhaps you’ve wondered why others struggle with spirituality or perhaps you’re one of the strugglers! If so, this workshop is for you.

I am happy to tailor this session for general and women’s retreats as well. This is also a great chance for interfaith dialogue. I often teach this course in diverse religious and secular settings, where people from Christian, Jewish, BaHa’i, Native American, Unitarian and agnostic or atheist backgrounds have gathered to successfully learn, share and grow.

Cost and registration

Please contact me, since cost and registration are often contingent upon number of participants and when a group would like to meet.
